The U.S. Open’s largest court was packed for the final three matches of the reimagined mixed doubles tournament Wednesday night, which was made up of mainly top singles players for the first time.

The thought of the top men’s and women’s singles players teaming up is one that has often intrigued tennis fans around the world.

The new U.S. Open mixed doubles tournament has drawn plenty of criticism for everything from its format to its field.

The semifinals of the new-look U.S. Open mixed doubles championship are set, with the title being decided tomorrow. The teams of Iga Świątek/Casper Ruud and Sara Errani/Andrea Vavassori advanced in the early wave, and they will be joined by Danielle Collins/Christian Harrison and Jessica Pegula/Jack Draper.

The much-talked-about pairing of Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz fell to an early exit in the US Open’s mixed doubles competition on Tuesday, losing their first-round match and failing to win a set.

The winning duo will take home a $1 million prize, which is higher than most prize purses for mixed doubles major tournaments. The 16 teams will play over two days. The first round and quarterfinals take place on Tuesday inside the main show courts at the USTA National Tennis Center. The semifinals and championship match will be on Wednesday night.

Grand Slam singles champions such as Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Iga Swiatek and Madison Keys will be playing for extra money — $1 million to the winning duo — and trying to get their hands on a trophy in the U.

Venus Williams served style on the court in a custom Khaite tennis kit for her opening mixed doubles match at the 2025 U.S. Open alongside American player Reilly Opelka on Tuesday in New York City.
